Rochester Students Compete on All-Star Team of "Mathletes"

The team made a great appearance at this year's national competition.

The Michigan All-Stars are a team of "mathletes", 45 of the top high school students in the state, who come together in the spring to practice and compete in a national team math competition, the American Regions Math League (ARML, www.arml.com) competition. This is the 24th year that Michigan has participated in the event.

The contest was June 1, with 3 teams from Michigan traveling to the midwest site at the University of Iowa.

Each made notable performances. The Michigan A1 Reals placed 15th nationally out of 78 teams in the A division and 2nd at the Iowa competition.  The Michigan A2 Naturals ranked 59th nationally, and the Michigan B1 Primes participated in the B division, placing 15th nationally out of 61 teams and 5th at the Iowa site.

The attendees included five Rochester residents, Richard Hou of Detroit Country Day and Bo Qu of International Academy, and Edgar Hu, Daniel Jin and Nevin Mital who all attend Rochester Adams.
